Schindler Busts Fair

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

The cards were all but rushed away, but the ESPN crew was there to witness Ryan Fair's elimination after he called the shove of Jake Schindler on a jack-high turn with pocket aces. Schindler had flopped an open-ended straight draw with the {5-}{4-} and got there on the turn to leave Fair drawing dead.

"I'll show just this once," said Russell, turning over {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for top pair and the nut flush draw as he dragged in the pot.

The board read {9-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} at the turn and Ryan Van Sanford checked to Kilian Loeffler who bet 10,000 into a pot of about 50,000. Van Sanford made the call and the river fell the {2-Hearts}.

Van Sanford checked again. Loeffler moved all in for almost 30,000 — enough to cover Van Sanford. After several minutes of thought, Van Sanford made the call for his remaining 28,375 and showed {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} for kings over twos.

His opponent said, "Nice call," as he mucked {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} face up, and Van Sanford took down the pot, leaving his opponent with crumbs.

The dealer spread a flop of {10-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Newman continued for 1,000. Brown called. The turn was the {8-Spades} and was checked around to the {2-Clubs} river. Both players opted to check again and Newman showed {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Brown revealed {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} to rake in the pot.
